What a journey. I fasted trhu a short (7 wks) marathon training, my 41st birthday, the NYC Marathon (where I ran 31 min. faster than last year and achieved my goal of breaking 5 hours), Thanksgiving, Christmans and New Years Eve.
There were times when it wasn't so easy, I had to battle with very strong cravings (I was craving pizza for many days, salivating...now I don't have any desire left for it), went thru emotional lows and fear of gaining weight after I break my fast (it occured about half way done), but generally I have to say it was amazing, and it worth every second of it. I'm not afraid of food anymore. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to keep my new, healthy weight. I am confident that I'll be healthy and slender for life! :)
And now, here are the stats:
08/28/10 01/01/10
Height: 5'9 Height: 5/9
Weight: 211.5 lbs Weight: 142.5 (69 lbs gone!)
Bust: 115 cms (45.5") Bust: 96 cms (38")
Under breast: 96 cms (38") Under breast: 81 cm (32")
Waist: 102 cms (40") Waist: 71 cm (28")
Hip: 113 cms (44.5") Hip: 94 cm (37")
Thigh: 60 cms (23.5") Thigh: 47 cms (18.5")
Tada!!!! :)
Fantastic! Inspiration to us all! Im socked that no one has commented?
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteI've just read your blog, fantastic achievement!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sky!
Deleteyou look so amazing!!! this is such an inspiring story!! i'm doing a 60 day juice fast, but with a few break inbetween... i completed 38 days so far, and have lost 21 lbs. my 'before' stats are almost identical to your 'before' stats (except for the fact that i'm 5'3" and started at 198 lbs)... so seeing your 'after' picture is a GREAT motivation for me :)
ReplyDeletedid you cheat at all during your fast? i see that you did your juice fast almost 2 years ago... when you started to eat again, did you find that you gained some of the weight back?
Thanks Chef Mai,
DeleteNo, I never "cheated" during the fast. You have to be careful how you break your fast, you can't go from a liquid diet to a heavy cooked diet, re-introducing solid food must a gradual process. for the same reason cheating cannot be done.
I would recommend intermittent fast for those who are not ready for a 100% commitment. Like juice fasting during the day and having a nutritious light vegan meal for dinner.
really really amazing! I have been wanting to do a juice feast for a year now, but never quite had the balls, but looking at your results makes me think that it is totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteA bit of a personal question but, no one ever mentions the transformation of breasts, did yours get very deflated? Your skin looks very firm in the photo, even though it was such a fast weight loss
My boobs got smaller (thanks god! I was DD before, I was really welcoming the smaller breast), but not "deflated". I'm in my 40's so nothing is as it used be 20-25 years ago, and nothing that cannot be corrected with a good bra! ;)
Deleteamazing!!! I'm starting juicing tomorrow & am hoping to lose 43lbs
